The Mathematics behind RNA (RNA numbers, Recurrence relations and Generating functions)
This holidays I had the opportunity to work as an intern in the A*STAR Bioinformatics lab, where I studied on an aspect of double stranded RNA. It was a fascinating experience because first, I never knew there was double-stranded RNA (I’ve learnt from high school biology that RNA are single-stranded unlike DNA); second, I learned how RNAs are… Continue reading The Mathematics behind RNA (RNA numbers, Recurrence relations and Generating functions)
Transfer from Blogger
Guess what guys? I’ve finally decided to transfer my blog from Blogger to WordPress! Actually, this wasn’t a difficult decision to make – MathJax on Blogger has been screwing up ever since Day 1 and I personally find the inbuilt LaTeX support on WordPress amazingly convenient. So ya, WordPress ftw! 🙂 I would most likely… Continue reading Transfer from Blogger
Numberphile’s Introduction and Solution to the 3 Squares Problem
3 Square Problem – A Challenge!
Suppose there are 3 congruent squares placed next to each other as follows: What is the sum of ? Post your solutions/ideas in the comment box below! Fun fact: There are 54 known solutions to this problem! How many can you find? (Well, I only managed 3 :p)
Power of Geometry – Using area in continuous probability
We encounter probability everywhere in our life. From estimating the chances of our teachers catching us dozing off in class to the probability of us meeting Ariana Grande on the streets, probability is inherent in our daily lives. The inspiration of this introduction of using geometry in probability came to me just this afternoon. I was… Continue reading Power of Geometry – Using area in continuous probability
Math Sharing in School 20/7/14
Just last Monday (20 July), I had a sharing with my school’s Science and Math Club on 2 interesting fields which I personally like a lot. They are no other than Recreational Mathematics and Cryptography! Recreational Mathematics is a field of Math, including games like Tetris, paradoxes and logical problems. It is very fun and… Continue reading Math Sharing in School 20/7/14
The Impossible Triangle.
I have always liked illusion. So, here’s one for my starting post of this blog. Enjoy. 🙂 The picture above shows the Penrose Triangle or Impossible Triangle built real-life in Perth, Australia. The triangle shown on the rightmost picture as most of you would have figured out now can only be seen from a certain… Continue reading The Impossible Triangle.
